Somewhere Above Texas
I write today from about 40,000 feet above the Earth on my way to Birmingham to pick up my car. Yes, my car is in, of all places, Alabama.I can't always remember what city I'm in. I can't always remember what day it is. All I know is that over the past five weeks, my best friends have loaned m... (Continue reading)

Greetings from the Quality Inn/ Portland Airport,Yes, I know you wish could be staying in somewhere this nice, too. Maybe one day, you will be lucky enough to spend two nights in this kind of luxury. There's a bar just outside my door called Steamers. I went to Steamers last night where I enjoye... (Continue reading)

kansas city
The past week took me to Kansas three times - exactly three more visits than I have ever paid to the state of Kansas. I stayed in the party town of Hays on Tuesday night, ate dinner in Ellis on Sunday and played in Kansas City last night. All good places, and more importantly, all good people. To th...

bars and fears
So I'm reading this insanely good memoir, The Tender Bar, by JR Moehringer. Memoirs are about the only thing I can read anymore. I'm not much for fiction. We're all full of enough good truths to share that making up stories doesn't seem like a good idea.Ok, so basic story: JR grows up on Long Is... (Continue reading)

Because no matter what happens, I think I can end up somewhere better than a parking lot in New Jersey.It's officially Christmas. Maria... (Continue reading)
Staying Cool in Chicago
Early Friday morning, I woke to news of the Apocalypse Snow in Chicago.Don't go to Chicago, the weathermen warned. You will never make it. The snow is as high as the Sears Tower.
I was worried. I had to make it to the show. What would a day be without playing music in a bar? Nothing.

liquor for lunch
In my first length stay in Louisville over the holiday, I've decided to explore the town, see the sights and meet my new neighbors. My journey began at the local Spirit Shoppe last night when my roommate and I were in search of Kentucky bourbon. While I knew the state prided itself on its aged whisk...
